1.

spiderwebs hold me together
so thin people only see the cracks
not the glue

i saw a shattered boy once
his grandmother filled his cracks with gold
hes beautiful now

my spiders crawl out of my ears
repairing any damaged shackles
i am a fly wound up for a feast

i should struggle
try to fly away
but these spiderwebs hold me together

2. wishing for a pompilidae

there is a wasp that hunts spiders
paralyzes them with a sting
drags them to her den
lays an egg and buries them alive

the egg become a larvae
that is charming in her innocence
she needs care protection provision
so the spider offers its abdomen
and lets her eat organs one by one

appendix stomach intestine bladder
saving the heart and lungs for last

a talking meal is awkward
but the spider has no defense
against the mysterious disarming quality
of new life

when the wasp is finished
she leaves
independent strong
and the spider is alone
a feeble shell buried in darkness

.

there is an egg sac inside me
i have not found it yet

the spiders whisper the wasps’ name
call her a monster

i am silent
my heartbeat is muffled
im too afraid to look and see

they hatch
it will be too late
i already dont want to be left alone

3. the whistle of atom bombs fall on deaf ears

sometimes my heart seizes
and sweat breaks
cold against freshly combusted skin

scurry like frantic ants
to stop this bodys rebellion

my heart falls back
into the familiar rhythm
as my molten skin solidifies
.
sometimes my heart will lurch
my skin will crackle

but i wont recall
which shiny red button
launched a nuclear weapon in my belly

ignore disaster without cause
theres no hidden catalyst

4. entangled in a web of my own waking

i found a spider in my diary
altering memories
i smashed it
then drew a flower around the black smudge
in mourning

i begin to write and they crawl down my arm
controlling the loops my pencil make
now i drop the pencil
when they make the pilgrimage
from nose to hand

my mouth has already been sewn shut
my tear ducts blocked
the bonds attaching me to the bed
gold in the early sun light
are harder to break every morning

i cannot walk without
running into the golden gossamer
potential shackles
when i make it to the door
i open it

squint in the bright sun
and close it again

5. studying the effects of kintsugi

the golden boy
broken in the night
no one know what happened

his parents had dug a grave
had already picked up
orchids
his favorite flower
because of the elegance

what they did not know
was the boy had answered orchids
on a poetic whim three years ago
and felt like he could not say
daisies now
in the present
because daisies didnt have to preen
to be beautiful

while his parents shoveled
his grandma from traditional japan
snuck in and gathered his pieces
took him to an old goldsmith friend of hers
who had filled her armoire with
shattered china

with love she put him back together
piece by careful piece
and her friend stuck him together
with powdered gold and glue

the golden boy shines now
i watch him from the corner of my eye
when our paths cross

his beauty took too much effort
for him to be a daisy
but his as mindless of it
as a daisy would be
